Getting to know Emmary Smith

Welcome! I believe that the true benefits of therapy come from the safety and empathy of the therapeutic relationship, allowing individuals to tap into their own strengths and resilience. As such, my approach is grounded in authenticity, collaboration, and shared joy. Together, we can navigate challenging thoughts, emotions, and situations. I have experience supporting clients with anxiety, mood disorders, ADHD, autism, self-esteem, and life transitions. As a neurodiversity-affirming therapist, I am dedicated to empowering clients by embracing their neurodiversity and ensuring they feel accepted and understood. While I work with clients of all ages, my passion lies in supporting children and teens. I recognize the transformative power of play at every stage of life and incorporate humor, creativity, and joy into sessions to foster a meaningful therapeutic experience. I believe in individualizing my approach to best support the unique strengths and challenges of each client. As such, I utilize a blend of evidence-based therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Play Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based Therapy. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Michigan, which has equipped me with a strong foundation to provide compassionate and effective care tailored to each client’s needs.
